How to survive Christmas period – the FPL talking point

We are entering the crunch time of Christmas. Between December 26 and January 6, there will be four deadlines for Gameweeks 18-21.

Expect a lot of rotation, injuries, suspensions, and ongoing absences as a result of the Africa Cup of Nations.

However, there is no reason to be alarmed. FPL managers who make wise decisions, stay connected with their teams, and adhere to deadlines frequently advance in ranks and mini-leagues.

There are things that can be planned for despite the chaos.

A number of players face suspension for reaching five yellow cards before the holiday season.

Should Antoine Semenyo receive another yellow card before Game Week 19, players will be served a one-game ban. Additionally, a number of players have left for Afcon.

Pay attention to the bench placement in your squad because the holidays are notorious for a lot of rotation.

Use a transfer to ensure you receive a good first and even second sub the majority of the time.

Not to take a chance in the near future.

Players who regularly play 90 minutes for their teams are even more valuable at this time of year.

The rotation risk players are frequently prime candidates for missing the odd game during this time because more minutes typically translate to more FPL points.

Even minor annoyances can cause players to miss two or three games. A quick turnaround accomplishes that.
